How to Protect Sections of Your Chatbot Using the Password Block in Release0

What is the Password User Input Block?#

The Password User Input Block allows you to restrict access to specific parts of your chatbot flow by requiring users to enter a valid password. Unlike full agent password protection, this block only gates selected areas — not the entire experience.

When to Use It#

• Grant internal users access to private dashboards or reports.
• Reveal exclusive pricing or VIP offers.
• Protect premium content like downloads, advanced forms, or tutorials.

Password Block vs Full Agent Password Protection#

Full Agent Password	Password User Input Block
Blocks the entire chatbot until a password is entered.	Only gates selected flows or content.
Users cannot interact at all without the password.	Users can freely explore the rest of the agent.
Best for internal tools.	Best for public agents with gated sections.

How to Implement It#

1. Open your agent in the Release0 flow editor.
2. Add a Password Input Block.

3. Set the correct password and optional error message.

4. Link the path to your secure flow.
5. Publish your agent and test the flow.

Key Features#

• Required field: Ensures users must enter a password to proceed.
• Placeholder: Customizable prompt to guide users (e.g., "Enter your password").
• Retry message: Customizable message displayed when the user enters an incorrect password.
• Button label: Customizable button text for the submission action.
• Passwords: You can set specific password(s) that users must enter to proceed.
• Save selected passwords in Variable: Save the entered password in a specified variable for further processing

How It Works#

1. The block renders a password input field.
2. Users must enter the correct password to proceed.
3. If the entered password matches one of the configured passwords, the flow continues.
4. If the password is incorrect, the user sees a retry message and can attempt to enter the password again.
5. The entered password can be saved in a variable for later use in the flow.
